"Siege's secret sauce is that there is no 'other' Siege to match its combination of competitive lethality, operator counterplay, and granular destruction. I believe that uniqueness can also explain some of its big missteps over the years." www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ra...

Explained that bizarre ending cutscene in Elden Ring Nightreign for @ign.com! www.ign.com/articles/eld...

"The ramped-down pace has me more focused and aware of my surroundings, so much so that I'm questioning if I ever liked sprinting in the first place, or if it just felt like a feature that's supposed to be there because it's an FPS." www.pcgamer.com/games/halo/t...

"It's too late now, but Reddit user Tee_B pitched an even better way to handle it in a thread about the blog post: 'Instead of shrinking Bastion 10% at once, you should have shrunk him 1% every week and denied it every time anyone asked.'" www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/sa...

i quit polygon; today's my last day. back to being an intergalactic bounty hunter (full-time freelance writer)! you'll soon see my bylines elsewhere & ofc you can still hear my video game opinions on Triple Click weekly. if you've got room in your budget for me: maddymyerswrites at gmail dot com <3

played some Nightreign with @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social and @tylercolp.bsky.social tonight and it was pretty sick nasty!

if you saw me i probably mentioned this, but i did some SGF writeups for @pcgamer.com this year! they've been great to me as a freelancer so i was happy to help this year. here's my fav so far, a look at the gun-fu brawler Spine. it's pretty cool! www.pcgamer.com/games/third-...

Squirrel Girl!! 🐿️

"I just watched them fling orbs at the final boss for eight minutes straight with one of the most annoying items I've ever seen. It works, but at what cost?" www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/wo...

I've put 60 hours into Nightreign and I've never seen this item. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/el...

Princess Mononoke: Prepare to Die Edition

fuck this game, I'm going back to Overwatch

"We have only so much time on this earth, and I have spent my share on getting good." New from me today on Nightreign: www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/ni...

Rather than customizable characters, Nightreign chose to focus on a handful of unique champions, trading flexibility for deeper specialization. While they don't use the character creation facedata, there is still something if we peel back their helmets. youtu.be/aaiC0doOclE

I'm glad Harvey wrote about one of the most deserved losses in my 50 hours of Nightreign. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/i-...

Put 35 hours into Nightreign and while it is an uneven game I think it's healthy for them to trust a first-time director to try shit out and turn their biggest franchise inside out. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/neightreign-...

I don’t even remember what happened in Deltarune chapters 1 and 2. I’m immune to spoilers.

"But what's the value of fidelity independent of art direction? If an open world's character isn't getting the same investment as its graphics tech, how interesting can it be?" www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/th...

It's honestly surprising to me that Nightreign has no extraction elements to it. It feels like it would fit perfectly. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/el...

i love interviewing nintendo developers so much www.wired.com/story/mario-...

For @gamespot.com, I asked AAPI folks in the gaming industry about what AAPI Heritage Month means to them and how their identity has shaped their work www.gamespot.com/articles/dev...
